Recommended Portfolio: Time for the Awakening of Perception

The book is presented as a practical and accessible guide to achieving inner transformation and accessing a higher state of consciousness, called the fifth dimension. The work is influenced by the personal experience of the author, Carolina Rodríguez Amaya, who, after suffering a kidnapping and captivity, found in this traumatic event the impetus for a profound spiritual search.

'The Fifth Dimension' is not described as a physical place, but rather as a leap in perception and a higher state of consciousness. The author explains this with a metaphor: if swimming in a straight line, zigzag, or diving represents the first three dimensions, the fifth dimension is the awareness of observing the entire scene from a deep, analytical perspective. In this state, fear, the sense of separation, and scarcity dissolve, giving way to unity, unconditional love, and a sense of purpose. The book proposes eleven levels or types of consciousness that the reader must cultivate to align their vibration with this new reality and achieve a deeper understanding of existence. The text presents sacred codes as spiritual tools, which can be numerical codes or energetic symbols, to be used in daily life to heal, manifest, and align personal energy with a higher frequency. The book also helps identify the signs, both at the personal and collective levels, that indicate a transition to this higher vibrational state, encouraging us to view the changes and apparent chaos of the world as part of a positive process of evolution. More than a book, the author conceptualizes it as a "portal of transformation." Her ultimate goal is to invite the reader to cross the threshold of the familiar and embark on a journey back to their essence, promising that, upon completion, their perception of the world, themselves, and their purpose will have changed forever.

This book represents the fourth stage in the literary and spiritual evolution of Carolina Rodríguez Amaya, after works such as 'Diary of my captivity' (2007) and 'Resilience: 12 keys to being happy in difficult times' (2022).

'The Magic of the Ruins'. Author: Gabriel Zuchtriegel. Publisher: Taurus

Every day Zuchtriegel walks through the narrow streets of the ancient city of Pompeii, destroyed and buried alive in less than two days in 79 AD. These inspections, excavations, and restoration and accessibility projects bring him into contact with the fragility of a unique site and reveal the beauty of ancient art and the transience of human life.

Standing before the casts of the victims of the Vesuvius eruption, and before the sculpture of a fisherman boy found asleep by the lava, who reminds him of his son, he asks: "What does Pompeii have to do with us? What do our ancestors have to tell us today?"

'The Map of the New World'. Author: Luis Zueco. Publisher: B

The year is 1496. After achieving the union of Castile and Aragon and conquering Granada and the Canary Islands, Isabella the Catholic finds herself in the final years of her life, but also in her greatest power. A power and a legacy she is not willing to lose, not even after her death.

This novel chronicles the years that forever changed the course of history. When every ship returning to port could transform the world, a map became the crown's most prized possession, and a traveler's exploits could set an empire ablaze.

'I was here and I remembered us.' Author: Anna Pacheco. Publisher: Anagrama

A brilliant snapshot of labor dynamics in the tourism sector. Tourism has changed the face of many cities. It may have been an economic engine, but it has generated unintended effects and is clearly unsustainable today. This book explores the contradiction between the luxury that high-end hotels sell to their clients and the social, economic, and labor reality of those who work there.

The result, a cross between anthropological fieldwork, chronicle, and essay, shows the most uncomfortable side of tourism and reflects on rest in a post-capitalist future.

'The darkness knows.' Author: Arnaldur Indridason. Label: RBA

In the icy depths of the Langjökull glacier, a frozen body is discovered, apparently that of a businessman who has been missing for thirty years. At the time, the police investigation yielded no results, and although one of the missing man's partners was briefly detained, there was not enough evidence to charge him. But now everything has changed, and Konrád, the now-retired police officer who investigated the disappearance, will be called back to reopen the case. Fortunately for him, he has new information provided by an unknown woman that may finally help clarify a case that has gone unsolved for so long. CÉSAR GIRALDO, Sub-Editor of Portafolio
